Battle of Nashville
5 October, 2010 - Gen. Ryle S. Draco | 0 Comments

The battle of Nashville began when around 20,000 Confederates that were a mix of several different units from all over northern Tennessee that had retreated to a camp outside of Nashville, the last major city in northern Tennessee that had not yet fallen to the Union, these confederates soon found themselves surrounded by around 60,000 Union troops that were pursueing them. During the corse of the day around 250,000 Confederates, these men were a collection of militia that were the last hope to launch a big offensive and push the Union out of Tennessee, but the Union had also called up reenforcements and they were already in position to meet the confederates comming to raise the seige of the surrounded men. Over 200,000 Union troops were in place to meet the confederates by the time they arrived. In a desprate attempt to save there cut off comrades, the Confederates luanch a hasty full frontal assault, charging straight into Union muskets and bayonets. Fighting lasted for fourteen hours, and was hand to hand for most of it. At the end of the day, Casualties were high on both sides, but the confederate gamble to turn the tide had failed, and having waisted there last chance of salvation in a fruitless attack, all hope of saving the confederacy was lost.

Battle of Valley Springs
3 October, 2010 - Gen. Ryle S. Draco | 0 Comments

The Battle of Valley Springs was a Decisive defeat of the last remnants of the Confederate forces in eastern Tennessee. The battle opened with a counter-attack by the confederates, but Union forces managed to take the high ground on the left flank, and encircle 5 companies of confederates sent to secure it for themselves, the confederates on the hill were annihalated and with Union forces holding the high ground on the flank they were able to pure fire onto the confederates hitting the main Union line below. Union forces on the main line below the hill pulled back in the center to form a half circle infront of the advancing confederates, with a heavy crossfire from the front and side as well as heavy fire from the hill now off set to the rear of the confederates, the battle was a massacre. Out of an attacking force of 22,000+ confederate troops, over 20,000 became casualties, haven taken roughly 90% casualties in a fool hearted attack, the confederates began a chaotic withdraw. Union forces numbering around 20,000 suffered comparativly light casualties at around 5% killed in action. Union forces then pursued the remaining confederates and left the confederate wounded to die.

Battle Result: Union Victory

Union Casualties:
K.I.A: 1,034

I would not say ignorance as much as over confidence, Lee thought he could simply bash through the Union lines and he failed to see that the Union position on the hights was simply not going to fold, Lee's over confidence in his men hindered his own better judgment even when it was suggested to him to forget a frontal assault and out flank the entire Union line by fainting towards Washington which would have most likely forced General Meade off the high ground to try an meet the threat, leaving Union forces in more flat open ground, enabling Confederate troops to be used in a manouevor battle for which Lee was best at.

Well not entirely that Lee thought that his cavalry could break through the rear and didnt wait for confirmation and decided to attack without confirmation. Also this could be considered Stewarts fault also since he did outnumber custer's men and were better experienced but decided to call it off mainly due to coming back from other raids on union supply lines and the men were tired. While a winnable battle for the south their downfall was due to ignorance and lack of trust.

that 2nd loss in the quote is suppose to be fault

I know why Lee ordered Pickett's Charge (saw it in a movie) day 2 of gettysburg, the CSA attaced the Union's flanks in an attempt to defeat the army from the rear. results of Big Round Top, slauter of the Confederate troops, results of Little Round Top, Union hold by a hair with a baenat charge, defeating the CSA there. Lee thought, since the union held when they attacked the flanks, that the center must be the weak point. He thought that if he sent enough troops, that the union line would fall, only to find enough union cannons to survive the South's bombardment and a stone wall where many union troops shoot from cover, they were pushed back a little, and then drove the CSA out. Lee was devstaded by the order he had given to his men saying, "This loss is my loss, it is entirely my fault."

Don't forget about Phil Sheridan. Thomas "The Rock of Chickamauga" was another worthy Union general in the East. These were two of my favorites. It would have been interesting had Jackson survived the tragedy of Chancelorsville to see them go head to head in the Shenandoah Valley towards the end of the war.
Gen. Ryle S. Draco 14 Sep, 2010 @ 7:11pm 
Oh dont worry Sergant Major, theres no need to give me a history lesson, my only point in saying that Grant and Sherman are the only real options is simply because Grants fame from leading the Army of the Cumberland and of course Shermans march ripped the heart out of the south, they are credited with winning the war for the Union, but the south had far better Generals, they were tacticly brilliant in there battles, although we may never know why Lee continued to press the attack with pickets charge even after the attack on culps hill failed and the flanking move by the conferderate cavalry was blocked by General Custers men, but even so, the skill of the Confederate Generals is what forced the Union into a war of attrition.
